fight Posted October 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2021 Recently picked this one up and was wondering if someone would be able to help identify the meaning of the markings? I know these markings can be hard to ID, but I figured I give it a shot. Thanks! - Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Hazard Posted October 11, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 11, 2021 I have this chart as reference I believe V-2 has something to do with aircraft carriers - Navy vets will have to confirm Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyd00 Posted October 13, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 13, 2021 V-2 (and actually I believe the “V” helmet another member posted recently) have to do with Naval Aviation Stations aboard a Vessel. Was just reading “Devotion” by Adam Makos (about Korean Navy Fliers) and he says “he had a “V” on his helmet indicating usage by the ships Air Crew ” (paraphrasing). Very nice helmet with a great look - the green and the yellow. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are responsible for the flight deck, catapults and arresting gear. They are the A/C V handlers (blue shirts), Directors (Yellow Shirts), Cats and Gear (Green Shirts), and Fire Fighters (Red Shirts). so, that helmet belonged to V-2 division, Air Department of some Aircraft Carrier, and was given the accounting number of 118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
